AIDEN'S POV:

It was like I had my world on my hands when I was holding her by her waist. I just wanted time to stop here. But as the song ended, she broke eye contact and gazed on my hands on her waist. Not wanting to make her feel awkward, I carried her on my arms and her hands automatically snaked around my neck in reflex. "Wh... What are you doing?" I chuckled looking at the way she stammered. I made her lay on the bed and pulled duvet over her. "You danced enough, now take some rest till dinner time." She blinked her eyes twice before nodding at me. I walked towards the other end of bed and continued doing my work until mom called us for dinner.

"You just wait for me, I'll bring dinner for you here itself okay?" I left the room and walked towards dinner table to get food for both of us. "Hubby wifey having dinner secretly on their room huh?" I shot death glare to Diana before walking back to my room with our dinner but... it was good to hear when she called us hubby and wife. I helped her to sit on the bed and I sat near with the tray of food. The moment I placed the spoonful of soup towards her mouth from the bowl of soup in my hand, she started making faces as if I'm asking her to walk on fire.

Then her gaze fell upon the tray beside me and when I followed her gaze, I found out she was staring at the cheese pasta on the tray that was for me. "Wifey, have this soup please." She looked at me and pouted, "You're making me have this soup when there's cheese pasta in front of my eyes. This soup already smells so disgusting." She looked away. I knew it was going to be difficult for me to make her have the soup. "But you need to have it to get strength right?" She still didn't look towards me and I sighed in helplessness. Then an idea stroke in my mind. "Okay, if you have this soup, you'll get to have a spoonful of pasta."

"Just one spoon?" She exclaimed while showing her index finger. "Okay two." I said while shaking my head. "Jus...."

"No more discussion. Just two spoons of pasta. If you don't want it then okay, you won't even get a single spoon." Before I could back off, she hurriedly pulled my hand that was holding the spoon and gulped down the soup though her face twitched due to the taste. After she finished the soup, she was anxiously waiting for me to pick up the bowl of pasta and I did so but instead of feeding her, I started taking huge bites of pasta and she was shooting death glares at me. I was peeking at her through the corner of my eyes. "Don't be angry now, here. Have your pasta." I made her eat two spoons of pasta and she ate it like a happy child.

I made her have her medicine and then was about to make her sleep but she wasn't ready. "I'm really tired of sleeping. I slept all day and now I have no sleep on my eyes. I'm not feeling sleepy at all." Well I can understand, the most boring thing I have ever done in my life was to sleep all day because I was sick and even for a week after recovering cause mom wasn't sure about my health.

"So, what do you want to do? It's late already and you can't go out as you haven't completely recovered." She started thinking with her index finger poking on her cheek. "Let's watch some web series." She clasped her hands in excitement. I was happy seeing her happy. After arranging the setup, I joined her to the bed. She was sitting on her side of bed while holding pillow on her lap. I slowly crept on the other side of the bed and pulled the duvet over us. As soon as the program started, we both started laughing as the scenes were too hilarious.

I was enjoying watching the series with her but slowly my eyelids started turning heavy but still I was trying my best to stay awake.

HELENA'S POV:

"Oh my god, this is so hilarious, isn't it?" I turned around to look at him but he was... already asleep. His head was hanging sideways with his mouth slightly opened. His position of sleeping was looking really uncomfortable and he'll surely get cramps next day if he sleeps this way all night.

I pulled the duvet away and slowly held his head on my one of arm and with the other hand, I tried to help him sleep properly on bed making sure he doesn't wake up and finally when he slept properly on the bed without waking up, I left out a sigh. He tilted towards my side such that he was facing me now and that's when I noticed the little leftover of pasta on corner of his lips. I tried to ignore it but... I just couldn't.

After fighting with my mind for some time, I finally decided to wipe it away. I moved closer to him, and... used my thumb to wipe it away and it was... a different kind of feeling. 'What are you doing Helena? Come back to your senses. You're literally gawking at him.' I shook my head to brush all my thoughts and turned off the lights and tv to sleep.

I laid down on my side of bed and closed my eyes to sleep. But even after half an hour and lots of twists and turns, I... just couldn't sleep. I wasn't getting sleep at all and then my eyes glued upon him. Ahhhhh... I was hating myself for the thoughts coming on my mind but there seemed no other way. I... slowly moved to his side and... hugged his arm. But after just few seconds, he moved closer to me and at the end, I was captured in between his arms and a smile crept on my lips. Eh, this isn't good, this isn't good at all. I shouldn't get habitual to his hug to sleep. I need to keep this thing on my mind, just this night, only this night.
